Will MV cause locking for FAST REFRESH

Hi ,
I want to create an MV on a table on a FAST REFRESH basis but this table is being constantly being updated/inserted and i am unsure of exactly the no of transactions but possibly in hundreds.
1)
with that in mind , would a FAST REFRESH on a schedule of every 10th mins be a good option and during the FAST REFRESH will it actually cause the master table to be locked and prevent updates/inserts from being done ?
2)
and during the time where my source database is down from re-org , there could be possibly changes in thousands e.g from 5000 - 10,000 , will a FAST REFRESH in this case bog down the source database then ?
pls advise
, in this case

A fast refresh won't prevent you from doing DML on the source table. A fast refresh will generate additional load on the primary server, though, and there will also be additional load for every transaction on the source system that has to write a change vector into the materialized view log.
If you're really concerned about the load on the source system, using Streams for your replication is designed to put much less load on the primary system.

  • Materialized view logs for Fast refreshes

    Hi,
    I created MV and MV logs on the base table/main table. I set the base table in NOLOGGING MODE. so ofcourse redo is not gonna generate during DML but i wanted to know that:
    Will NOLOGGING effect the MV logs for fast refreshes?
    I came up on conclusion that MV logs are nothing to do with Redo Logs and would have no impact on MV logs for fast refresh since i have set my all base table in NOLOGGING MODE.
    Looking forward for expert opinion.
    REGARDS,

    Though I'm not an expert...

  • Materialized View with Join for FAST Refresh

    Hi Gurus,
    Facing issues in MV with a simple join for FAST Refresh.
    2 sample Tables:

    deptid integer FK
    2. delta_employee

    Able to perform Complete Refresh. Not able to use Fast Refresh for
    incremental refresh.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    J Kumar

    Found a solution,
    As per oracle documentation rowid fileds should be included in the Select statement. Even though I included the rowid fields, empid in this case it still didnt work.
    The implementation of the rowid column should be included with tablename.rowid instead of the tablename.columnname !
    Modified script is as given below.
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW WORK.MVEMPLOYEE
    REFRESH FORCE ON DEMAND
    WITH PRIMARY KEY
    AS
    select e.rowid "empid",d.rowid "t1" ,e.empname,e.deptid
    from work.employee e, work.delta_employee d
    where e.empid = d.empid;
    And It really WORKS

  • Enabling materialized view for fast refresh method

    In AWM when i select refresh method as FAST and enable the materialized view, am getting the below error:
    "Refresh method fast requires materialized view logs and a previously run complete refresh of the cube mv". i need this Fast refresh of a cube materialized view, so that it performs an incremental refresh and re-aggregation of only changed rows in the source table.
    can anyone help me on this??

    If you want the cube to hold data even after it has been deleted from the relational table, then you should disable the MV on the cube.
    Synchronization with the source table is determined by the default "cube script".
    <li>CLEAR, LOAD, SOLVE : This will synchronize your cube with the source table. It is a requirement for MVs.
    <li>LOAD, SOLVE: This will allow your cube to contain data even after it has been removed from the source table. It sounds like you want this.
    Cube builds can be "incremental" in one of two ways.
    (1) You can have an "incremental LOAD" if the source table contains only the changed rows or if you use MV "FAST" or "PCT" refresh. Since you can't use MVs, you would need a source table with only the changed rows.
    (2) You will have an "incremental SOLVE" (a.k.a. "incremental aggregation") if there is no "CLEAR VALUES" or "CLEAR AGGREGATES" step and various other conditions hold.
    To force a "complete LOAD" with an "incremental SOLVE" you should have all rows in your source table and run the following build script.
    LOAD, SOLVE You could also run "CLEAR LEAVES, LOAD, SOLVE" to synchronize the cube with the table.
    To force an "incremental LOAD" with a "complete SOLVE" you make the source table contains only the changed rows and the run the following:
    CLEAR AGGREGATES, LOAD, SOLVEor
    LOAD, CLEAR AGGREGATES, SOLVEFinally, if you want both LOAD and SOLVE to be incremental you make the source table contains only the changed rows and the run the following:
    LOAD, SOLVE

  • Creation of materialized view with view log file for fast refresh in 10.1db

    Hi,.. I have a select statements that includes data from almost 20 tables and takes long time to complete..I am planing to create a materialized view on this.. would you please suggest best way of doing this?
    we would like to have materialized view and materialized log file to refresh changes from underline table to mv view. please provide help on this .. thanks in advance

    It will be possible to create a Materialised view with up to 20 tables, but you have to understand the restrictions on complex Materialised views with regards to fast refresh.

    I can't create Materialized view with fast Refresh .
    Kindly provide solution .
    Regards,
    nayana chavda.

    Kindly provide full Oracle version since option vary by release.
    There error message says it is impossible to fast refresh based on a complex query.
    On 10g Oracle provides a package procedure that will tell you why the view cannot be fast refreshed: dbms_mview.explain_mview.
    Otherwise see the Advanced Replication Manual for a list of restrictions.
    10gR2 >>Restrictions for Materialized Views with Subqueries
    The defining query of a materialized view with a subquery is subject to several restrictions to preserve the materialized view's fast refresh capability.
    The following are restrictions for fast refresh materialized views with subqueries:
    Materialized views must be primary key materialized views.
    The master's materialized view log must include certain columns referenced in the subquery. For information about which columns must be included, see "Logging Columns in the Materialized View Log".
    If the subquery is many to many or one to many, join columns that are not part of a primary key must be included in the materialized view log of the master. This restriction does not apply to many to one subqueries.
    The subquery must be a positive subquery. For example, you can use the EXISTS condition, but not the NOT EXISTS condition.
    The subquery must use EXISTS to connect each nested level (IN is not allowed).
    Each table can be in only one EXISTS expression.
    The join expression must use exact match or equality comparisons (that is, equi-joins).
    Each table can be joined only once within the subquery.
    A primary key must exist for each table at each nested level.
    Each nested level can only reference the table in the level above it.
    Subqueries can include AND conditions, but each OR condition can only reference columns contained within one row. Multiple OR conditions within a subquery can be connected with an AND condition.
    All tables referenced in a subquery must reside in the same master site or master materialized view site.

Besides XMLTYPE column, your MV definition has a subquery which prevents it from being fast refreshable.
    I could not find any specific reference in documentation about restriction on XMLTYPE (or CLOB) columns but it seems logical that oracle will not be able to keep track of changes to binary data. What does DBMS_MVIEW.EXPLAIN_MVIEW generate for your MV definition? That should tell you which all conditions (for FAST REFRESH) your MV violates. Since you can not create a MV LOG to include XMLTYPE column, it will not be possible to create a FAST REFRESHABLE MV that includes the XMLTYPE column.
    I am afraid there is not much you can do here unless you are prepared to change the way data is stored in your base tables. If you can store data in base tables using standard data types instead of binary/XML storage, you might be able to create a FAST REFRESHABLE MV.

  • Fast refresh of materialized view

    Hi All,
    This is my first posting on this forum, so I hope I don't step on anyone's toes as I wade into a problem that I am experiencing.
    I have a number of either join-only or single table aggregate materialized views that I have experienced problems with. All the views are setup for FAST REFRESH ON DEMAND but I'm hitting an error if I execute a COMPLETE refresh of the view when I've done an ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML. The error I get is:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-30439: refresh of 'DTKTGT.CTNS_PER_HR_VOL_AGG_MV' failed because of ORA-32320: REFRESH FAST of "DTKTGT"."CTNS_PER_HR_VOL_AGG_MV" unsupported after cointainer table PMOPs

    Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated as every now and then, a COMPLETE refresh is unavoidable and using the ENABLE PARALLEL DML makes the refresh run a lot faster than without the ALTER SESSION.

    If the two MVs have to be consistent with each other as of a specific time, put them into a Refresh Group and refresh them with DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH
    If an MV is dependent on another, use DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH_DEPENDENT
    See the "Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference" documentation pages for DBMS_MVIEW.

  • Materiazed view with fast refresh

    Hi All,
    I want to create a Materialized view with fast refresh.
    I think for fast refresh we need to set up a materialized view log first before the MV gets created.
    Can someone please provide the steps and the syntax to do this?

    If your object is to process the cube as quickly as possible, MV refresh of the cube is probably not required. As an alternative, you can do the following:
    - Map the cube to a view and use a filter control what data is presented to the cube during a refresh.
    - Avoid dimension maintenance (adding new members, dropping members, changing parent-child relationships).
    Let's say you update your cube daily with sales data coming from 10,000 stores. You could add a LAST_UPDATED column to the source fact table, timestamp rows whenever the fact table is updated and then filter on that column in a view to present only the new or changed records to the cube (or whatever filtering scheme you might like).
    Dimensions are always entirely processed (compiled) regardless of what data is presented to them, so there isn't any advantage to timestamping the records in the dimension table and filtering on them. What is important to understand is that any change to a hierarchy (adding members, deleting members, changing parentage) will trigger re-aggregation of the cube. If you can batch those changes periodically you can limit how much of the cube is processed during a refresh.
    Continuing with the example of the daily update of the sales cube, we can examine two scenarios. In both cases, the cube is partitioned by month and a fact view filters for only the new or updated fact records (let's say there are new records every day).
    Scenario 1
    New records are added to the sales fact table and new stores are added to the store dimension table each day. The store dimension will be updated with new stores, new records will be loaded from the fact table and all partitions will be processed (loaded and solved/aggregated).
    Scenario 2
    New records are added to the fact table, but new stores loaded into the store dimension only once a week (e.g., Saturday). The fact view filters for only new or changed records and stores that currently exist in the store dimension. For Sunday through Friday, new or changed records will be loaded from the fact table and only those partitions in the cube that have new or updated data will be solved / aggregated. (If there are no changes to hierarchies and no records are loaded into a partition, that partition is not solved / aggregated). On Saturday, new stores are added to the store dimension table and the store dimension and the cube are updated. Because the store dimension has changed, all partitions of the will be processed.
    With scenario 1, data for new stores are available each day but the entire cube might be solved each day (if there are new stores). In scenario two, new stores are not available until Saturday but the processing of the cube will be limited to only those partitions where there is new fact data.

  • I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

    I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

    I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not?  Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.
